Will do.

Oh OK. I honestly don't have a problem with that. I was just
wondering, as these are the most annoying types of 'crash,' if there
could be a workaround. But other than that, I see no problem with
connecting to drkonqui and bug buddy, as long as we have re-launched
compiz, then Bug buddy / drkonqui is called. Also, maybe we could
introduce a counter to disable compiz fusion for a session if a
crashes too many times within a certain time limit. Say, twice within
a miniute. (This helps if compiz is crashing on startup and it keeps
on re-launching. Which isn't really what we want :P)
